Head to Head
Malmo and IFK have faced each other on 23 occasions over the past decade. Malmo won 13 of those games, with IFK picking up five victories.
IFK earned a 2-2 draw on their last visit to Malmo 13 months ago, while Malmo eased to a 3-0 win in Gothenburg earlier this season.
Malmo Form
Malmo turn their attention to domestic duties after a disappointing 1-0 home defeat against Olympiakos in the Europa League last Thursday. Ayoub El Kaabi's first-half goal secured a narrow victory for the Greek visitors.
The Blue Ones are now winless in three matches after being held to 1-1 draws in their last two Allsvenskan matches against Värnamo and Västerås SK.
Despite dropping points in five of their last eight league fixtures, Jon Dahl Tomasson's side sit at the summit of the division, five points clear of nearest rivals Hammarby.
Malmo Team News
Malmo boss Tomasson has no fresh injury concerns but remains unable to call on a handful of long-term absentees. Oscar Lewicki, Stefano Holmquist Vecchia, Anton Tinnerholm, Niklas Moisander and Sead Haksabanovic remain sidelined.
IFK Goteborg Form
IFK make the trip to Malmo after their five-game unbeaten stretch was broken with a 2-1 home reversal against AIK last weekend. A stoppage-time goal from Benjamin Hansen secured victory for the visitors in a frantic finale at Gamla Ullevi.
Stefan Billborn's relegation-threatened side claimed much-needed 2-0 wins against GAIS and Norrkoping before last weekend's home reversal.
With only three games o play, IFK sit three points above the relegation play-off spot.
IFK Goteborg Team News
Head coach Billborn has four players unavailable for selection on Monday. Suleiman Abdullahi, Pontus Dahlberg, and Arbnor Mucolli are long-term absentees, while Paulos Abraham is also expected to miss out.
